Test name	Executions per second
mutate without length caching	162.4 Ops/sec
mutate with length caching	225.8 Ops/sec
separate array without length caching	152.3 Ops/sec
separate array with length caching	314.8 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

var arr = Array.from({length: 10000}, (_, i) => String.fromCharCode(i + 97));

Tests:

mutate without length caching
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { arr[i] = "(" + arr[i] + ")"; }
mutate with length caching
for (let i = 0, l = arr.length; i < l; i++) { arr[i] = "(" + arr[i] + ")"; }
separate array without length caching
const arr1 = []; for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { arr1[i] = "(" + arr[i] + ")"; } arr = arr1;
separate array with length caching
const arr1 = []; for (let i = 0, l = arr.length; i < l; i++) { arr1[i] = "(" + arr[i] + ")"; } arr = arr1;
